Art material

ABSTRACT

An art material which resembles the texture of molding clay, said material being made from paper, preferably crepe paper, newspaper, tissue paper and the like and made by the process of soaking in hot water the paper until softened and slowly mashing it until it becomes pulp, agitating by hands the pulp paper to break up any unmashed paper until an even consistency is achieved, squeezing gently the pulp paper to remove some of the water but maintaining moistness, mixing with white glue the moist pulp paper in even proportion until an even consistency of fine and moist paper clay is achieved, adding color to the paper clay, setting aside the mixture for about 15 minutes and then missing again, transferring the mixture to containers to keep it moist and packing the mixture.

FIELD OF INVENTION

This utility model relates in general to arts more particularly to an art material.

Decors, paintings, etc. adorn the household as they add beauty to walls, corridors, panels, and the like. Without them, the house looks flat, bare and boring.

Affordable decors consist of figures on boards being superimposed with molding clays, paper tapestry, wood chips, metal chips and the like, mostly colored.

However, the superimposing material are also quite expensive.

SUMMARY OF INVENTION

It is the primary object of the present invention to provide a decor wherein the art material is made of ordinary paper, preferably crepe paper, newspaper, tissue paper and the like mixed with white glue and hot water and blended with multiple colors and resembles molding clay so that we term it “paper clay” and could be used instead of the art material stated above.

Still an object is to provide an art material used as decor wherein the new material “paper clay” is not only cheaper than the one above but also one which could be easily sourced.

Another object is to provide an art material wherein the raw material being used could be easily processed as molding clay and could be laid over on glass, wood, tiles, ceramic, metal and other hard surfaces.

These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the appended drawings wherein.

Other features and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate, by way of example, the features of the invention

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a decor using the paper clay; and

FIG. 2 is a sectional view taken along line 2-2 of FIG. 1.

Referring now to the several views of the drawings, wherein like referenced numerals designate same parts throughout, there is shown a decor 10 being superimposed by an art material 11.

This art material 11 being made from paper, preferably crepe paper, newspaper, tissue paper and the like.

In processing the art material as paper clay because it resembles in texture with molding clay, the paper is first soaked in hot water until softened and slowly mashed until it becomes pulp. The pulp paper is agitated mechanically or by hand to break up any unmashed paper until an even consistency is achieved.

The pulp paper is then squeezed gently to receive some of the water but maintaining moistness. The moist pulp paper is them mixed with white glue in even proportion until an even consistency of fine and moist paper clay is achieved. Colors may be added to the paper clay. The mixture should be thick resembling molding clay.

The mixture is set aside for about 15 minutes and then mix again.

The art material is then transferred to containers to keep it moist and packed.

The art material which we termed paper clay resembles the texture, moistness of molding clay and could be used as such.
